00:00How has you guys' relationship been tested in a way that maybe you didn't see coming?
00:06Had you been through other, like, tests or hardships that you thought before this that maybe you knew you would apply to this?
00:12Or is this, like, one of the first big, kind of, hurdles?
00:14This is my third time.
00:16Honestly, you would think it would cause more tribulation or cause more problems between you, but I think it's bonded us more than anything else.
00:25I think there's something that we'll always have this as, like, a bonding, strengthening thing, you know?
00:31Which is why we're also moving up the wedding a little bit.
00:35Oh, we'll get to that.
00:37Let's talk about moving up the wedding, Jack!
00:41Okay, so...
00:42You can, I don't care.
00:44I don't know.
00:45I was going to ask you.
00:47No!
00:48Okay.
00:49I don't know.
00:50So, I'm hearing we might be moving up the wedding is what you're alluding to.
00:54When are you guys getting married?
00:55In two days, actually.
00:56In two days?
00:57Okay.
00:58Tell me everything.
00:59Is this, like, a city hall situation?
01:01Yeah.
01:02Yeah.
01:03So, it was actually...
01:04I'll actually cry.
01:05It was so, so sweet.
01:07Obviously, we were planning to plan a wedding.
01:10And there's a lot of emotions that come in with chemo and the impact and the health.
01:15Like, we don't know what the next year looks like.
01:18And one night, he said, I want to show you that I still love you and that I'm here to stay.
01:24And he said, I will get married to you tomorrow.
01:28And, yeah, we flew our parents in.
01:31They actually arrived today.
01:33Yeah.
01:34We got our marriage license.
01:37And a friend is going to marry us, I think, in our apartment.
01:41In our apartment.
01:42And we're just going to go to dinner.
01:43Yeah.
01:44More for the paperwork, you know?
01:45Yeah.
01:46More for the paperwork.
01:47It's a sweet sentiment of his offer of, you know, being there for me.
01:52Oh, wow.
01:53We still will have a wedding.
01:54Yes.
01:55In the future.
01:56But it was just kind of this really...
01:58I don't know.
01:59I'm speechless still.
02:00Like, kind gesture of just, like, him saying, like, truly in sickness and in health that
02:05he's proving that he's here to stay.
02:08And I also just want to be able to, like, be in the hospital with her and just be like,
02:11my wife's in there, you know?
02:13Yeah.
02:14There's more power to that.
02:15And I don't want to be...
02:16Like, I don't want to be not with you for any of this.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Even though I go back on the road in April.
02:21But besides that, I just want to be everywhere with you as much as I can.
02:24So...
02:25I mean, that's a very powerful sentiment to want to say, I want to be...
02:28I'm here for my wife.
02:30I want to be in the room with my wife.
02:32Whereas a lot of people might, you know, be scared or might pull back and say, this is
02:36a lot.
02:37Like, one step at a time.
02:38And he's going the other way.
02:39Like, obviously, that makes you emotional.
02:40Yeah.
02:41And I mean, you know the statistic.
02:42I think, unfortunately, a lot of women who are diagnosed, men are more likely to then
02:47leave their partner than if the roles were reversed.
02:50Like six times more likely.
02:51What's wrong with men?
02:52I don't know.
02:53I don't know.
02:54I got a good one.
02:55Yeah.
02:56So yeah, he shows up every day and he does it in ways that just continue to surprise
03:01me.
03:02So...
